Websphere is the product name of IBM.IBM has many products under the name websphere like WAS (websphere application server), Websphere MQ,websphere message broker,etc….
WebSphere Application Server is a set of software tools that enables companies to build and manage J2EE applications. It handles web application requests , and allows the server to response to client requests
To familiar with Websphere you must have familiar with some terms.......
Application server
An application server extends the ability of an HTTP server to handle Web application requests, and allows a server to generate dynamic, customized responses to client requests.
Cell
A group of related nodes and their node agents constitute a cell. Administrators define the nodes that make up a cell according to criteria that is appropriate in their environment.
A cell contains a Deployment Manager from which all the administrative tasks for the nodes in that cell are handled. Deployment Manager for the cell has a master configuration repository that contains the configuration data for the nodes and servers within the cell. Configuration changes made at the cell level are propagated to the nodes and servers the next time synchronization occurs. Therefore, all configuration changes must be made at the cell level.
Although each node and server in a cell have their own local configuration files, configuration changes made at the node or server level are temporary and will be overlaid with the data from the cell repository maintained by the Deployment Manager.
Node and Node agent
A node is a logical grouping of WebSphere Application Server managed server processes that share common configuration control. A node usually corresponds to a physical computer with a distinct IP address. A node is normally associated with one physical installation of WebSphere Application Server. The node name is typically identical to the host name of the computer.
A node contains one or more application servers, XML configuration files, and an activated node agent. The node agent communicates with the cell's Deployment Manager to manage that set of servers on the node.
A WebSphere Application server will have one nodeagnet per one node. The node agent acts as a mediator between the Deployment manager and the node.
Deployment Manager
Deployment Manager is a special application server which manages the configuration of multiple application servers across multiple nodes in a cell. Deployment Manager includes an Administrative Console for implementing the configuration management.
It is also responsible for centralizing user repositories for application and also for webSphere authentication and authorization
How to Set SESSION TIMEOUT for an Application
In the WebSphere Administrative Console:
Servers->Application Servers->WebSphere Portal ->Container Settings: Web Container Settings ->Session Management->Session Timeout -> Set Timeout
JVM INITIAL AND MAXIMUM HEAP SIZE
Servers-> Application Servers->WebSphere Portal->Server Infrastructure: Java and Process Management->ProcessDefinition->Java Virtual Machine
How to check WAS version
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/versionInfo.sh
